Answer: The process is called as nuclear decay process.

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction are defined as the reactions in which nucleus of an atom is involved.

Isotopes under decay process in order to attain stability.

Unstable isotopes known as parent isotopes undergo various decay processes to form stable isotopes known as daughter isotopes.

The various decay processes are:

Alpha decay: In this process, alpha particle is released.
Beta decay: In this process, beta decay is released.
Gamma decay: In this process, gamma decay is released.

Hence, the process is called as nuclear decay process.

Lewis structure for hypochlorus acid

Lena [83]

The Lewis structure of hypochlorous acid has oxygen (O) with single bonds between hydrogen and chlorine. In the Lewis structure, we see that hypochlorous acid has 14 valence electrons. Four are used as bonding electrons, and the remaining 10 are nonbonding electrons on oxygen and chlorine.

Each element on the periodic table has a unique set of properties: Metal vs nonmetal; number of protons; atomic mass; number of

igomit [66]

The periodic table arranges elements in increasing
atomic number from left to right and top to bottom.
Horizontal rows on the periodic table are periods.
Elements in the same period have the same number of
electron shells.
Vertical columns on the periodic table are groups.
Elements in the same group have the same number of
valence electrons.
